names hitherto unknown here, and offered here under prime cost. With respect to the competition of 'foreign merchants, we dO not *ell see bow they can sell equally good articles at lower prices than our own merchants, is the latter can doubtless ,make their purchases on the spot; on as good terms as the others ;. and with respect to the adver tisements we have mentioned, it ii evident that their chief object is to tempt buyers, though it cannot be denied that considerable injtuy may result to the mer chant who proceeds on the old system, as too many buyers are tempted by low. prices, without sufficiently attending to the quality of the article. However this ,conjunc ture f or taking a fair advantage, of which nobody can be blunted, will pass over, as it is impossible, in the na ture of things, that - every article can long be sold at a price less that the'expence of producing it ; and a concur rence of circumstances like the present, in which the dis tressed situation of the manufacturers in England has pro duced these anomalies, must be transitory, and cease with the cause; setting aside the unfavourable circumstances for the merchants, as fat: as the articles in question are con cerned there is every reason to expect a satisfactory result of this autumn fair with regard to all such goods, as being ready manufactured, are objects of immediate consumption, because the rich harvest of this year, and the almost certain result of the vintage are a sufficient encouragement for the purchasers for the little market towns and the country, to provide themselves with a stock to meet the probable de mand. In fact, the prospects of the vintage are so far certain, that if, for the intervening five or six weeks, the weather should not be quite so favourable as it has hither to been, the wine may suffer a little in quality, but in quantity will exceed at all events the amount produced for many years. Among the articles, of which large quan tities have arrived for the fair, Merinos may be mentioned, for which there is indeed always a great demand at the au tumn fair, with a view to the approaching winter. Saxon manufactures of plain and printed calicoes,and other articles, are already here, but the Swiss have not yet come out, they are generally the last. Considerable supplies of fine, middling, and ordinary wool are on the spot, but we have not yet sufficient data to form a very decided opinion re specting that article. . TRIESM AUG. 13. We are still without news direct from the Mores. We !intent to learn that private letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 16th ultimo, mention that the EMPRESS of Russia, wife of NICHOLAS, is seriously indisposed. The nature of her Imperial MAJESTY'S indisposi tion is not mentioned ; but some fears are even expressed for her life. The Greenock Advertiser, in adverting to the Russian squadron now cruizing in the North Sea, grave ly hi n t s that the KING of Spain has borrowed the ships for the purpose of bending them to Cuba, in order to recover his naval ascendancy in that quarter. The Advertiser forgets that the declaration of Mr. CANNING, respecting the interference of foreign nations in South American affairs is a sufficient answer to the probabi lity of such an event ; and as for the idea of Ft:um -NAND borrowing a fleet from Russia, we can lend it no credit. That the precious FERDINAND would borrow, no one can doubt, but IsheffoLAs is too far north to lend him any thing but ice-bergs, and these EItDINAND, by a stretch of faith, might convert into aiain''Onds, which would absolve him from his dif ficulties. The intention of Government to open the Ports for the admission of some descriptions of Foreign Grain, does not appear to have been generally knoWn in the City yesterday : but, as a rumour of the kind was in circulation, its probable effect on the Money Market, and on Commerce generally, was very warmly dis cussed. The best informed persons entertained dif. latent opinions on this point ; some argued that a very serious fall in the Exchanges would immediately hike Place, because the first effect of the importation of Corn would be the withdrawal of a large quantity of the gold Snow iu Lotidon, the countries from which the Corn would be brought, being more 11l Want of money than any other commodity. Others entertained an opinion that the immediate demand for our manufactures, which would ensue from this measure,. would counteract such effects, and that no alteration in the exchanges because, would take place ; cause, if the gold did in the first instance leave the country, it would almost immediately retugh for th e 4. Payment o f ar ti c les which would be bought at once, or ordered in anticipation of a wider extension of the Conn Importation Regulatidfis. We ourselves entertain no doubt that the first opi nion will prove the most correct, viz., that an imme diate fall in the Exchanges will take place ; but as the Exchanges are at present considerably above par, it does not follow that, upon the present measure, they should fall to an extent sufficient to make the exporta tion of gold, a et ,oi e traffic. If they do not, the good derived to c • ommer ce generally will be incalculable ; and even if the Exchanges should for a time materially decline, stillthe • nuaniate effect will be, to .take off our hands an immense quan tity of articles of our own produce, which, )y de grees,. will balance the Exchanges again. Of course if the Exchanges fall, the Funds must also decli ne , but w e do not think that any national evil wou ld result from ' the value of the Stocks being brought to hear a more just •proportion to the relative value of all other Oroperty in the country, than they do at present. Of the total amount of the value of corn and pulse, w hi ch w ill be imported u n d er t he present regulation, we c a n form no accurate opinion. Some persons es titnate it at 4,000,000/. The speculations which will be set on foot in consequence will undoubtedly be veDr large, as the persons engaged in the Corn Trade will See, • in the present relaxation, the commence ment Of 'a much more extensive modification of the 'restrictive regulations now in force. 13181NTERMENTOFA FEMALE ATKIDLINGTON, VIA% Oxvom.D.—lii consequence of a complaint having been made to Mr. Cecil, one of the Coroners fur this County, that a wou►an had been buried the preceding Thursday under very sue- Picioue Cir6unerancee, Mi.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR—(THis DAV) We could not help exclaiming this morning, on taking a view of the preparations for this ancient civic carnivul, " the age of jollity is gone, that of saints, economists, and paupers has succeeded, and the glory of Barthelnay is ex-' tinguished for ever I" Every effort has bt;en made to abridge it ; the price of the ground for stands has been raised so enormously, as to take away the profits and the inducements of speculators. There was none of the display in the avenues to Smith field, which of old gave intimation of what was going on there. The fair itself cuts a most sorry appearance. There is not half the usual number of shows, and those which remain wear a melancholy aspect. The countenances of the owners seem impressed with the prospect that they shall lose by it; and it may be conceived how abortive, under such circumstance., are all the efforts to be comical. There is not a single show of any note in the centre square, which, a year or two since, was surrounded with them. Wombwell, with Wallace and Nero, and some royal tigers; and Richardson, with his Corps Dramatique, his clowns who can't tumble or play, the salt-box, and his harlequins who can't leap or dance, are the only persons who have attained any thing to re mind us of its ancient splendour. Atkins, with his lions and noble band of' beef -eaters, is heard there no more.— Gyngell, that prince of conjurors, who used to play " 0 Name", on the musical glasses, has disappeared. The breed of monstrosities seems to have diminished: there are only 2 Albinuses and a tall man and woman. There are still, how ever, oysters for the luxurious, and we heard a fellow in the pig-pens crying out lustily, " Here's hot sassingers to feed your hangells with." The Lord - MAYOR and Sheriffs entered in grand procession, at twelve o'clock, and proclaimed it with as few of the ancient observances as possible. The hucksters and publicans were enjoined at their peril, to supply drink and food that was " good an d flut e for man his bodye." The shout at the opening, instead of being a din, heard thrice the distance o f Pye-corner, was a faint and dyintsound, scarcely heard on the other side of the fair. The dancing booths have been hunted out; not a pre paratory scrape was heard, in these times. The rich mania painted window Hide the concerts of the yttalitY; The poor man can but spare A crack'd fiddle in tke air, Which offends all sound morality. The rich man is invisible In the crowd of his gady society, But the poor an elight Is a sore in the sight. And a stench in the nose of piety. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—(Tkm DAY.) At this Office no ease whatever, of the slightest interest, presented itself. Mr. Alderman BROWN sat to hear any little thing that was to be stated. He coin plained much of Overseers and others being late in building the d m , r : O. eoming forward to prefer or substantiate their enarges. For - b is own part, when it was his day to :7, this had never since he had been a Magistrate, been out he t ‘ ll!' $711 . 13 to when the clock struck the hour at which sit; and he considered pinwtuality in this re spect infinitely better for all parties • an the dpu blic at large, than irregul ar i ty. , ..._ .. .. ,__ . AMY-STREET—j — uts DAY.) STREET -RoonEky_A BAD CONN.—Maly Seoll Was brought up on a ch arge of having stript Elizabeth Tour nay of her shawl this morning in the street. Elizabeth Tourney stated, that about o'clock this morning t h e Was passing up Drury-lane, When she met the prisoner, ac com p anied by another female, w h o was graced with two bl ac k eyes half-past ten ; the prisoner stopped her and asked her to come in and give her a glass of gin. " I have no money," replied witness, " If you do not then," replied the prisoner," you must give me the shilling you owe me," and without more ado she levelled witness in the street. and took her shawl off her neck, and God knows she was naked enough before, and said she would pawn it for the shilling, and give her the ticket. She then droggeS wit ness down a lune, when they met an officer, who took her in charge. Witness lives by travelling through the coun try, and selling cotton balls. The constable, who took the prisoner into custody, stated, that having met the three females, the prosecutrix told him that the prisoner . had her shawl, whereupon the prisoner threw the shawl at his feet—" there is the shawl," said. she, " if you are the Magistrate, and you may The prisoner stated that she had met the prosecutrix iu St. Clement's watchhouse, the night before last, and see- Mg her in distress, she lent her a shilling, and said she, " I don't care a pin for the magistrate, or any of you."— On being further interrog a t e d, she said she had met they . prisoner in a public house on that night, and there gave her the shilling. "%! you bad one," exclaimed the prosecutrix, " how catryou tell such a story—if the men here don't punish you for stripping me naked, God will." The keeper of St. Clement's watch-house then came forward, and stated, that he had left the, prosecotrix in custody. the night before last, but not the prisoner. May it please you, Mr. Scott, cried theprosecutrix, sa tisfy his Worship, that the story-teller did not give me a shilling—after some altercation, the prisoner was coin mitted for petty larceny. A SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—John Norris, the proprietor of a coal wharf, charged a coal-heaver, who had been in his employment, the following circumstances. with having robbed him, under The prisciner having been suddenly discharged from the employment of the prosecutor, and paid his wages, made a demand of six or seven shillings, which he alleged had been kept back from him, and told the prosecutor that if he did not give it to him, he would break his big head.— The prosecutor counted ten shillings out on the table, end said, " There are ten shillings, and take your demand out of them; but" added he, " before you take them, I tell You that that is my money, and if you touch a single far thing of it I shall send you to the Old Bailey." " Very well," said the prisoner, " I will take all the money, and run my chance about the Old Bailey." The prisoner did so accordingly, and the prosecutor deeming it an open robbery, took him bef ore the Magistrate. Mr. MINSIIULL—You acted very imprudently. Your conduct amounted to a challenge. The prisoner admitted the facts as above stated, but said that the money was due to him, but as he had no witness thereof he knew that he could not get it from the prose cutor unless by force. Mr. MINSH - ULL dismissed the charge, but ordered the coalheaver to give bail to keep the peace towards the pro secutor. HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tats DAY). MINT . PROSECUTION.—A young woman, with a child in her arms , was p l ace d at t h e b ar, charged with having in her possession a quantity of counterfeit coin. Lloyd stated, that on the 22d ult. after the apprehension of Taylor and his wife, who were fully committed on the capital charge last Tuesday, he was left in charge of their house, No. ts, Pleasant-row, Walworth ; and about ten o'clock, the prisoner, who is known to be en utterer, came to the door anti knocked. Before he could open it, she was told by a person from the next house, that Taylor was gone to prison. She then ran away, .pursued by witness, who overtook her at the distance of about 100 yards. She struggled very much, and threw from her right hand a small parcel, which was afterwards found and brought to him ; it contained five counterfeit sixpences. These facts being fully proved, Mr. Serjeant SELLON asked the witnesses distinctly if 'any indecent behaviour or unnecessary force had been used by the officer, in taking the prisoner into custody, and was answered in the negative. • He then addressed the prisoner, and said, that he was sorry to see a young woman, with a child in her arms, placed at that bar under so serious a charge, aggra vated by the defence she had set up in a letter She had handed to him, which described the conduct of the officer as most gross. • This had been dis proved by respectable witnesses; and he considered it a tissue of falsehoods, Mimed to obtain commiseration. Had such conduct been proved against any officer of their esta blishment, condign punishment would have followed. She was fully committed. • MARYLEBONE.—Cnns DAYO A decent-looking man came before Mr. GRIFFITH for advice. lie stated that he was married, and had two young children, a son and a daughter; that he and his wife, hav ing been on bad terms for two years back, agreed to sepa rate, but his wife insisted on getting the daughter, whom he was not willing to give her ; he asked the Magistrate if he had a right to keep. her ? Mr. GRIFFITH informed him he certainly had a right in preference to his wife. He then requested Mr. G. to send an officer along with him to state so to his wife.. Mr. GRIFFITH said that he could only explain the law, and no more. A friend of Mr. Cox, whose case excited so much inte rest yesterday, came forward with Mr. C., and stated to Mr. Griffith that Mr. Cox was► afraid of remaining at home, because he suspected that his wife and her maid were con triving bodily harm against him. Mr. Cox wished to get his wife removed from his house, and promised to provide for her in another lodging. He stated, that he also wished to get the maid out of the house, as Mrs. Cox insisted that she would keep her in spite of him. Mr. GRIFFITH Mid, that if the house belonged to Mr. Cox lie could certainly turn off the maid; but added, that lie could do nothing in the mean time to Mrs. Cox till she should do some injury, which would then justify his interference. MARLB °ROTH; STitrET. —(Tn S DAY. ) Michael Sullivan was brought up on the charge of his wife, Mary, 'for administering sundry pokes to her party colored Irish visage. She poured forth a torrent of Hiber nian eloquence, ut the expense of her mild-looking pro tector, an apparently inoffensive child of Erin, at least six feet high, with " brawny shoulders, four feet square."

After the Council his MA JESTY gave 'audience to the following personages : Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Canning, Mr. Peel, and the American Minister, to whom his MAJESTY gave a long audience. At half-past four o'clock his MA JESTY left the Castle and returned to the Royal Lodge. The Duke of Sussex paid a visit to the Duke of York on Thursday. The Duke of York, after transacting business yes terday morning with his Military Secretary, rode out from the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Ar lington -street, in his open barouche and pair, to take his daily airing. Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Wynn, and Mr. Hus kisson, assembled yesterday morning at half-past eleven o'clock, at the house of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, Downing-street. About twelve o'clock, the Right Hon. Gentlemen left town accompanied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a carriage and four, to attend the King in Council, at Windsor. Mr. Secretary Canning left town on Thursday even ing for Salt-hill. THE KING'S COURT, &e: Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the KING, attended by his suite, left the Royal Lodge, in Wind sor Park, in two carriages and four, with outriders, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guards. His MAJESTY proceeded up the Long Walk, through the town of Windsor, to Windsor Castle, where the K ING arrived about half-past two o'clock. The Master of the Horse and the Lord Steward of the Household rode in the same carriage with his MAJESTY. The Earl of Mountcharles and Sir W. Keppel, Groom in Waiting, were in the second carriage. The KING immediately proceeded to hold his Court, which was attended by the First Lord of the Treasury, the Se cretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colo nial Departments, the Master-General of the Ord nance, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Controul, the President of the Board of Trade, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Treasurer of the Household, the new American Minister, Mr. Gre ville, &c. The KING held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Greville attended as clerk, when hiv MAJESTY signed a proclamation for the meeting of the new Parliament on the 14th of November next, for the despatch of divers urgent and important affairs ; and an Order in Council was agreed upon respecting the importation of foreign corn. Mr. Peel o ffi ciated as President of the Council, in the absence of the Earl of Harrowby, the Lord President. Mr. Gelatin, the new American Minister, was iir troduced to the K 1 NG in Council by the Right Honourable George Canning, his M A J EST Y'S Principal Secretary of State, for Foreign Affairs, to deliver his credentials as Ambassador from the United States.. The Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretar y `• Canning, and Mr. Huskisson, had audience of the KING. The Council broke up about half-past three o'clock. Shortly before four o'clock his MAJESTY and suite left the Castle, escorted by the Royal Horse Guards, on his return to the Royal Lodge, from whence it was . expected the K►NG would proceed to Virginia Water. The -Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, who returned to London di rectly after the breaking-up of the Council, partook of an elegant dijeioie which had been prepared fur them ; after which, they left the Castle for Loudon.

I.—Arrived from Boulogne the steam-packet Medusa, with his Excellency the Prince Polignite, Ambassador from France to this country, who proceeded immediately for London. lISISH CHANCELLORSHIP.—We have heard with considerable surprise, that Mr. Saurin, the late At torney-General, will shortly replace Lord Manners, as Irish Chancellor. This arrangement is said to have been effected through the influence of Lord Manners, and the other branches of the Rutland family. The statement is made to us on what we are assured is good authority, but we confess we can scarcely believe it.— Freeman's Annul!. Piccadilly is in the act of being repaved by the parish, for fear it should be Macadamized. We do not believe one word of the report that the finishing of York House is to be thrown upon the pub lic : after the Chancellor of the Exchequer's avowal to the contrary, it must be impossible. The post-masters and stage-coach owners complain, and apparently not without reason, that while they are taxed so highly, the steam vessels contribute nothing towards the revenue. • One of the houses of which the Fish Monger's Shop has hitherto been composed, is now in the act of being pulled down, as well as the house adjoining, for the purpose of being added to it ; so that literally, in the words of Scripture, " —is enlarging its borders." The Hector of a parish in Wiltshire, when he sent his answer to the Bishop's Questions, lately circulated through the Diocese, subjoined this testimony to his parishioners It may give your LOrdship some idea of the moral state of this parish, to know that not a Single inhabitant has been convicted, or even accused, in any C our t of Justice, for any misdemean our , or other breach of the law s, d uri n g my residence within it, which is now more than 1 5 years. "The parish is Alton Barnes. _ . _ The passage between Leith and London is now ma de by the steam boats, in calm weather, in 47 hours. This scarcely exceeds the time occupied in the land journey of the ►mil, though the distance by sea is about 100 miles greater than by land. The distance by sea is 495 miles, and of course the rate of sailing is a b out i o milesper hour, and amidst variable tides and winds. This ►s two miles an hour more than the mail's rate of travelling.

Yesterday, about two o'clock, the house of Mr. Louis Nelson, in the New North Road, was entered by the bark kitchen window, and a large quantity of wearing apparel, table linen, cud plate, stolen. A spiel) chisel was found near the window, but no traces of the robbers could be discovered. FIRE IN SPITALFIELDS.—About one o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the large premises, in Booth-street, Spite'fields, occupied by Mr. Milner, the packer and presser, the Old Change. The fire was first discovered issuing front the top of the warehouse, which contained a large quantity of valuable property, now completely destroyed. Mr. Milner has a steam eng►ne on these premises, and it is supposed that the flue front the engine -house, which immediately joins the drying-room, ignited the latter. The fire was got under in au hour, and no serious accident happened. TOWN COUNCIL.-EDINBUROH.--LORD MEL vtit.7.—lhe Lord Provost stated to the Council that he was sure it would be very' agreeable to all of them, to have au opportunity of thanking Lord Melville, personally, for the many services he bad rendered to the city of Edinburgh, and particularly for the very important arrangements effected regarding the Port of Leith, which had been brought Aunt chiefly by the powerful and friendly as sistance of his Lordship. He had the pleasure to say to them, that his Lordship had kindly accepted of au invitation to dine with the Corporation, on Friday the Bth of September, in the Royal Hotel, for which day he hoped the gentlemen would keep themselvesdisengaged.—The Lord Provost's statement was re ceived with great approbation.—Caledonian Mercury, Auy. Si. The Manufacturing Distress Gentlemen appear to have been all wrong in their prognostications with re spect to the dearth of trade. STATE OF TEA DE.—Since our last there has been very little variation in the markets, although the demand for vertain descriptions of goods, remains steady. tsam and power • loom calicoes are much in request, and a trifling advance of price has been asked for the former ; many hands have been Oaken on again in Blackburn and other places, though nut to the extant we could wish. The scarcity of money doubtless, is one great cause why a more rapid improvement does not take place, but every day, in which the supply does not exceed the demand, (as is the case at present) must bring us a prospect which will gradually, although slowly, brighten. As this town is in a great measure governed by the Manchester markets, as can only say, that the state of trade is no worse, and that in one branch there has bean considerable business doing lately. The hands in the employ of the largest dyeing and calico-printing establishment, perhaps, in this kingdom, are making eight days a-week, and we understand that the duty to be paid, for six weeks, will be nearly equal to the amount paid by them in the most prosperous times. —Stochpurt Advertiser.
